on Current Politics.
Birmin CHAM, A Ia, Age.
Senator Sherman made very con
sentative speeches at Birmingham
and Nashville, but as soon as he
got back to the north he went down
into his carpet-switchel, got out his
old bloody shirt and has been way
ing it vigorously ever since.
Detroit Free Press.
Sherman is evidently a descend
ant at Orator Puff, and, like his al
cestor, has ''two tones to his voice"
His speech at Springfield, H., was
radolent of the ballot-box stufflng
and Pinkston business, of which
his Nashville Grafton showed no
| trace.
Petersburg, Va, Index-Appeal.
Such talk as Mr.. Sherman indul
ges in about Confederates and Con
federate ideas falls harmless. 1t
awakens no responsive echo save
in the hearts OF q few extremists
who, like himself, are unwilling to
forget and unable to learn. 1t is
empty sound and fury. Only this
and nothing more.
Macon Telegraph.
Let us cut off the internal-revenue
tax first and then proceed to read
lust the tariff, especially as to,mo-
nopolies, wherever they can be
found and reached. IF the demo
cratic party permits the inter
nal-regeDue tax to stand untouched,
and proceeds TO hack the tariff, it
may anticipate defeat in 1888.

| The recent proceedings in New
York city, whether founded on
good sense or not, have shown that
the law can be enforced. Nothing,
indeed, has been so clearly demon
strated in this Sunday saloon cam
paign than the falsehood of the old
excuse that it was impossible to
enforce law on the Sunday saloon
and this alone is q great victory.

Pittsburgh Post.
John Sherman is getting more
kicks than compliments from the
ealing papers of his own party be-
cause of his Springfield speech. II
is clear the cautious and wary man
has made the biggest blunder of his
life General Tuttle of Iowa should
join Sherman's caravan as bottle
holder. He is the readiest man We
